‘The Debt: What America Owes to Blacks’ was published in 2001 Robinson explained his position on reparations that should be given to African Americans and other black people for years of tyranny and discrimination against the community.
He was an impeccable person, tenacious and he was driven by justice Robinson led demonstrations against the US government and their policy towards the Caribbean banana industry when the Clinton administration literally decided through their policy to destroy the banana industry of the smaller Caribbean countries, instead supporting the big international growers, and Randall Robinson led demonstrations throughout Washington in support of the Caribbean nations and lobbied Congress.Ĭarib News had the privilege of covering Robinson in many of his activities and had to just admire the decency, sincerity and determination you always found within him, never one to draw away from controversy, never one to bite his tongue. He was unrelenting in his effort for Freedom. Robinson exposed the US government’s policy towards Haiti and the ousting Jean-Bertrand Aristide the then President, and even went on a hunger strike, pressured the US to reinstate Haiti’s democratically elected President, Jean-Bertrand Aristide. Robinson was one of the leaders of the Free South Africa movement, which began in the 80s and pushed and pushed for the end of Apartheid with a whole range of demonstrations, foreign policy campaigns, and a long history of lobbying for justice for South Africa, and was one of the chief lobbyists for the tough sanctions against South Africa, which eventually led to the demise of Apartheid. He was an incredible man who took on issues that others would shy away from, but he was always there, always there fighting for freedom.
